Why is there a Prop 65 warning on G.I. Detox™+?

  • Proposition 65, known as Prop 65, is a California "right-to-know" labeling law. It requires companies to inform consumers when products contain any one of 900 chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This law is unique to California and the threshold for the amount of each chemical is extremely low when compared to national standards. 
  • Our formulation experts included zeolite clay in G.I. Detox™+  to assist the body in excreting free heavy metals from common sources of lead exposure.* Zeolite clay is such an effective attractant for heavy metals that our clay source naturally contains a small amount trapped from its original environment.
  • The human digestive tract is not able to extract the lead from the clay, so there's no risk of lead leaching into the body. It is not bioavailable, but the amount of lead trapped in the clay (5-15 ppm) requires GI Detox™+ to carry a consumer warning under Proposition 65.
